Player Of The Match
  • 16.5

    OUT! Caught. Tabraiz Shamsi to Michael Archer. Googly length ball, off stump on the back foot pushing, outside edge, caught by Carey. A disciplined bowling performance from the Adelaide Strikers saw them restrict the Melbourne Renegades to a modest total. Tabraiz Shamsi was outstanding, spinning a web around the batters and finishing with four wickets. Will Sutherland showed composure with a responsible knock, but he received little support as the rest of the lineup failed to offer sustained resistance. Stay with us as the Strikers prepare to begin the run chase shortly.

    Sam Elliott to Liam Scott. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, to backward point for 1 run, shy attempt by Doggett. A comfortable eight-wicket victory for the Adelaide Strikers, who made light work of the chase. The openers laid a solid foundation with a strong opening stand before departing, setting the platform nicely. From there, Chris Lynn and Liam Scott took control, guiding the Strikers home with composed and authoritative knocks. The Melbourne Renegades bowlers struggled to break the partnerships and were unable to apply sustained pressure, while the total proved well short of what was needed to defend. Tabraiz Shamsi, outstanding with the ball earlier in the day, is rightly named Player of the Match.
